For evening and holiday party makeup looks, gold makeup gives a sumptuous effect that can liven up even the dullest complexion; but remember to use sparingly, says Janette from http://www.designerpermanentmakeup.co.uk.

Christmas and New Years parties afford a great opportunity to use glamour makeup; a rich sheen of gold on the body, face, eyes, or lips will seem to light up the wearer from within, giving a festive, fun look no other cosmetic can provide. Though not suitable for everyday wear, the following techniques and products are sure to enhance any party outfit or holiday celebration.

How to Choose and Wear Gold Holiday Makeup

The most important tip to remember involves the old adage less is more. Gold eye shadow paired with gold glitter eyeliner and tons of shimmer powder is more showgirl than showstopper. Pick one or two parts of the face or body, and strictly limit the dazzling shine to those areas only. Dont use gold makeup with silver clothes or accessories, and dont mix gold, silver, and bronze products unless you are creating a special effect for a costume party.

Never powder over these areas with matte setting powder, as this will mute the highlighting effect. Instead use blotting tissues without added powder to remove any unwanted oil that may accumulate as the night progresses. With powder, less is usually more, particularly for older women, so it is good to use sparingly.

Gold makeup looks especially beautiful on brunettes and individuals with dark or black skin, while silver and platinum shades are usually preferred by those with very fair skin or blonde hair. A pinkish-gold may appear lovely on light skin, while a more beige or yellow gold may make porcelain skin seem somewhat sallow. Some consumers like copper or bronze as highlighters, but skin with reddish undertones will do well to avoid these shades.
